Wow chuck, those are cool, but why does she have to toss the oger into the mountain dew?!...why not some diet cola or something?!
I look forward to more of the build...hey, could I ask what color oils your using for the highlighting...you know, color names and if your custom mixing multiple colors. I want to try using oils for detailing since it seems to yield a very nice and long reworkable/tweekable effect and just wonder what stock tube colors are needed....even a brand mention wouldn't hurt. Thinner too.
Oh, I'm guessing your using actual oils and not the acrylic type-

Sorry to have been missing in action for so long, but a man's got to do what a man's got to do. Things are okay, just really busy. Thanks for your patience, kameraden! Let's get on with it, shall we, Fritzi?

i'm still not sure how you make a modeling blog so entertaining, but you do.

Well let's see. Cartoon cleavage helps.

I just watched the Wolverine intro on Utube. I'm quite impressed. I've been a fan of Logan san for many years now and the intro perfectly captures his brutal vibe. And the claws through that dudes head? Damn! Pass the Advil. Extra strength!

Really nice to see another installment.
Your builds are really insperational. I am an armour modeller but you and your build have made me look into aircraft. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, my friends- Aeroscalers can't be beat!

We've had a tough week- or dear bulldog Dynamite had to have some pretty serious surgery to have her infection-ravaged ear canals removed. Scary enough, but a bad drug reaction, breathing complications, runaway temperatures and additional surgery took us to the emergency vet late Friday. We got her there just in the nick of time, and she stayed there till this morning when we brought her home. She's doing okay but will need a lot of nursing and attention to get her back to her loving self. Here's a pic of her with shaved fur, stitches and drains- poor puppy! Send your good vibes our way- she can sure use 'em!



I burned up a lot of nervous energy while waiting by attacking the plastic- I'll let the girls take it from here.

Well if Fritzi and Hannah don't make Dynamite feel better I don't know what will. Brilliant job finding that rare bit o plastic to fill in as an oil tank.

And... damn, you are quite the clothing designer aren't you. But I don't think that dress will be at any show in Paris anytime soon.

This web site might be of use
http://military-machine.blogspot.com/search?q=Me+410 (sorry will need to cut & paste)
just follow the link then the instructions and as they say Bobs your uncle.

There are many,many,many,many useful references,histories etc.

I hope this might make your build easier.

Thanks everyone! Dyna is doing much better- the wife's taking her to the vet today, hopefully to get those drains removed. Whew! I stayed home to help out Monday and got some work done on the Hornisse- some detail added to the nacelle. I've gotten some good ref on the DB601 as well, so that can move forward. Stay tuned for more.

Chris- how does that interesting site work? Do you have to sign up? I'm a bit leery....

Hi Chuck

How does that help you to detail a DB 603A? ... just curious ...

all the best

Er, I meant to say DB603A! It's really about knowing which bit of the engine is which, so I can fake the piping and wiring as best I can, in lieu of actual technical drawings.

Hi Chuk

Well, I had to look it up myself as i was not sure if it would be 605 or 603 but the 601 (think Bf 109E) was definitely out of question ...

Although I think the piping and wiring is not the same it might work out ... sometimes it just has to look busy.

all the best

I just want to thank you again all for your concern about my doggie! The good news is that she's doing fine and getting better every day- in fact, her stitches come out Wednesday morning. She's her happy little self and will only feel better without a constant double earache. Cheers!

Fritz- what have you got for us today?

The cowl's turning into a real jem Chuk. Amazing what a few bit's of scrap can do.

Hi Chuck

as always great update!

I want to make you aware of a possible omission/problem. Please check your refs re the supercharger intake. it has a pronounced 0 shape in the kit but AFAIK it should be rather o shaped (circular) ... forgot that on my kit too ....

all the best
